This textbook surveys the major legal issues emanating from the policy responses to Covid-19 in the United States, with an emphasis on federalism, administrative law, and state and local government. The Covid-19 pandemic led to unprecedented policy responses from the various levels and organs of government in the United States, as well as from private parties. Business, school, and church closures, mask mandates, employer and university vaccine mandates, vaccine passports to visit movie theaters and restaurants — this panoply of responses changed the world many of us lived in and led to widespread and hotly contested litigation in America’s federal and state courts. In the first and only text of its kind, with carefully chosen case excerpts and summary information, The Law of Covid-19 highlights the key legal issues contested throughout the pandemic. Whether as a retrospective on what Covid wrought, a primer for future pandemics, or a supplement to a more general public health course, this text will help prepare you and your students for a world that will never be the same. Key Features: The Law of Covid-19 (“LC-19”) features carefully chosen and edited cases about public health authority at the federal and state levels. LC-19 focuses on the use of emergency authority by governors and mayors, including its impact on public employment and civil rights. LC-19 includes information on the federal and state health bureaucracies, including detailed recounting of the authorization and approval of the Covid-19 vaccines and boosters. Professors and students will benefit from: Organized discussion of the relevant sources of emergency and administrative authority at the federal and state levels. Thought-provoking questions and case notes that situate the relevant legal issues within the larger social and political context. A willingness to consider multiple perspectives, including those questioning whether the policy and legal response to Covid-19 may have been too draconian.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had extraordinary effects on human lives and economies around the world. Many countries have introduced various measures to stop the spread of the virus and preserve human lives and livelihoods. Some commentators have considered these measures extreme, such as the restrictions imposed on people’s movement and lockdown of countries’ borders. While these measures have undoubtedly saved lives and curbed the spread of the deadly virus, they have also produced some unintended legal implications for individuals and businesses, particularly in the areas of contractual obligations, employment relationships, tourism and hospitality, company law, competition law, human rights and the rule of law, protection of vulnerable groups like migrant workers, and access to judicial and legal services. COVID-19 and Business Law: Legal Implications of a Global Pandemic identifies and discusses specific legal challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in these areas and suggests possible ways in which they could be remedied.

COVID-19 is the most severe pandemic the world has experienced in a century. This book analyses major legal and regulatory responses internationally to COVID-19, and the impact the pandemic has had on human rights and freedoms, governance, the obligations of states and individuals, as well the role of the World Health Organization and other international bodies during this time. The authors examine notable legal challenges to public health measures enforced during the pandemic, such as lockdown orders, curfews, and vaccine mandates. Importantly, the book contextualizes the legal analysis by examining the broader social and economic dimensions of risks posed by the pandemic. The book considers how COVID-19 impacted the operation of the criminal justice system, civil litigation concerning negligently caused deaths and business losses arising from contractual breaches, consumer protection litigation, disciplinary regulation of health practitioners, coronial inquests and other investigations of unexpected deaths, and occupational health and safety issues. The book reflects on the role of the law in facilitating the remarkable scientific and epidemiological achievements during the pandemic, but also the challenges of ensuring the swift production and equitable distribution of treatments and vaccines. It concludes by considering the possibilities that the legal and regulatory responses to this pandemic have illuminated for effectively tackling future global health crises.

The effects of COVID-19 are visited disproportionately on the already disadvantaged. This important text maps out ways in which those already disadvantaged have been affected by legal responses to COVID-19. Contributors tackle issues including virtual trials, adult social care, racism, tax and spending, education and more. They reflect on the implications of COVID-19 and express concerns with policy and practice developments and with the neutral version of the law and the economy which has taken root. Drawing on diverse resources, this text offers an account of the damage caused by legal responses to the pandemic and demonstrates how the future response can be positive and productive.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an enduring effect across the entire spectrum of law and policy, in areas ranging from health equity and racial justice, to constitutional law, the law of prisons, federal benefit programs, election law and much more. This collection provides a critical reflection on what changes the pandemic has already introduced, and what its legacy may be. Chapters evaluate how healthcare and government institutions have succeeded and failed during this global 'stress test,' and explore how the US and the world will move forward to ensure we are better prepared for future pandemics. This timely volume identifies the right questions to ask as we take stock of pandemic realities and provides guidance for the many stakeholders of COVID-19's legal legacy. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

How have the arrangements in European countries regarding the functioning of justice changed in the period of the COVID-19 pandemic? Will the solutions implemented in various countries in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic last and find their place in the legal systems of these countries for a longer period of time? The contributors analyse this in four thematic blocks: The first refers to the impact of COVID-19 on the administration and technical functioning of the judiciary, including international courts. The second part focuses on the impact of COVID-19 on the model of civil procedure, including the effects on general and structural principles such as the principle of openness, writing and oral proceedings, the principle of consistency of panels of judges as well as digitalization. The third refers to the impact of COVID-19 on criminal proceedings. And the last one deals with the impact of COVID-19 on the administrative proceedings.

This discourse addresses legal issues arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and will describe how pandemic litigation has affected the nondelegation doctrine, constitutional rights and statutory interpretation. Unprecedented government measures have led to many cases of first impression and this work will discuss how courts have responded. This study reaches three major conclusions: First, pandemic emergency orders should enjoy no special exemption from nondelegation scrutiny. When the judiciary fails to curb unduly broad, unintelligible delegations, this has real consequences for abuse of executive discretion now on display. Second, in constitutional rights challenges to overreaching pandemic orders, courts have scant modern-day precedent to follow. This study argues that courts should apply rational basis scrutiny to pandemic-related constitutional challenges (not otherwise entitled to strict scrutiny), but only up to a point. In these matters, courts should abandon rational basis scrutiny, and apply intermediate scrutiny, when three conditions exist: 1) data are available to evaluate pandemic emergency measures, 2) there is no identifiable and justifiable end point to the pandemic-related emergency and 3) the pandemic orders affect freedoms commonly recognized as deeply rooted in American history and traditions. Intermediate scrutiny will require the government to affirmatively produce support for pandemic orders that harm or affect large segments of society. The third conclusion finds that some courts have disregarded statutory limits to pandemic emergency powers and will argue against a default setting in favor of the government when more rigorous discernment of statutory meaning is required.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to take its toll, contractual parties have frequently faced significant obstacles in performing their contractual obligations due to unexpected impediments arising from the pandemic and government measures taken in response. This indispensable book – the most comprehensive comparative examination of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on contractual performance – discusses the legal provisions and doctrines available to address these issues. The book examines under what circumstances COVID-19-related impediments may excuse contractual performance or lead to modification or termination of the affected contractual obligations in twelve representative civil and common law jurisdictions – the United States, England and Wales, Singapore, Brazil, Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, Hong Kong, Costa Rica, China, and Russia. For each country, the book examines the following aspects in depth: the relevant fundamental legal principles; the various legal emergency valves available to an obligor to respond to COVID-19-related events; any remedies available to the obligee; selected examples for specific government measures related to particular types of contracts (e.g., construction, employment, lease agreements); and how the legal framework applies in typical factual scenarios. As further legal and factual developments occur, and with further jurisdictions being added, this publication will continue to be updated both online and in print. The book provides a detailed explanation under what conditions the emergency valves specific to each jurisdiction may apply. It cuts through the seeming complexity of the various legal rules and doctrines in these jurisdictions and shows that they often produce similar results in practice. The book thus opens up a wealth of insights for businesses, practitioners, and academics around the globe by providing an easily accessible analytical framework across key jurisdictions and typical factual scenarios. ‘Definitely mandatory reading for practitioners and academics alike!’ –Klaus Peter Berger, University of Cologne ‘Everyone who has had or is likely to have a brush with a COVID-19-induced legal issue would be well advised to keep this book within arm’s reach.’ – Davinder Singh, Davinder Singh Chambers LLC, Singapore ‘The “holy book” for all those lawyers whose clients become ensnared in the rising attempts to fix legal liability midst the rampant COVID-19.’ – Charles Brower, Twenty Essex, London
